The travel he mathematically calculated long ago- something about E<>MC2 unless followed by Pi or Y. The toast he never could get a firm grasp of. Stick bread in the toaster, wait and *pop* you got burnt bread. Fascinating yet so utter confusing- so mathematically incorrect in a correct way. Driven to the point of minor annoyance Big Bore Bob found a hammer and began disassembling the mysterious device. After 10 or 12 poorly-placed hits he realized the machine wasn't going to yield it's secrets to him today so he stuck in another piece of bread, waited seven minutes, decided he broke the machine, walked to his office, spun a dial non-chalantly as he passed and stepped through, for the first time, the inter-dimensional portal he'd constructed two years ago out of paperclips, duct-tape and a real spiffy surge protector. Won't he be surprised when he finds out the travel bleached him white, burned off his hair and clothes and melted his finger and toe nails. Oh yea, and that he can't get back because his toaster shorted out, burning down his house not to mention 100 other homes. He's currently wanted for questioning but it's best he's stuck where he is so he doesn't have to think about toast. Meanwhile in Dwaine, Texas, Herbert Duschem, the self-proclaimed "gravity doesn't exist and I'll prove it eventually" guy, was last seen floating over Houston. It's assumed he burned up in the atmosphere. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Accidentally, actually. All objects created by myself, minus the Poser-figure. Textures found on the 'Textures For Professionals' and 'Textures & Materials' CD-ROMs with some minor tweaking on my part.
